Write your story out in a word processor on your computer, save it, and wait for your internet to return to life. Nobody will mind if it's...

I’m currently using my phone as a wifi hotspot and shall therefore be using the internet VERY sparingly.

It’s a hardware issue - in that the wires that the telephone company were supposed to be maintaining were allowed to fail and now my house and 120 other households are now officially incommunicado until freaking MONDAY.

Today is Friday.

You can guess how pleased I am about all this.

HALP!

My internet is down. I’m writing this on my phone… and doing that with an instant story is a bag of scrotal hair.

I will if I have to? But I’d prefer not to have to.

Artsty Fartsy part 10!

The Photos:

  1. Never let an opportunity to do something funky pass you by. One shown in pre-assembly so you get an idea of the process

  2. You remember these feathers, right?

  3. Well it’s time for them to join their gem stud pals. The glue was mostly dry and it was past time to transfer them

  4. Of course, the blue and black pairs were still too tacky and needed more drying time

  5. In anticipation of the last pair

Artsy Fartsy part 9!

I ended this session with a literal pain in the neck and I might not be doing any more tonight, but aah, what works of wonder…

The Photos!

  1. Blurry, out-of-focus picture of my special non-slip nylon knot. You do your regular granny knot, and then you wind the short end around and through the loop a few times. When it pulls tight, it makes a kink that won’t undo.

  2. Slide your bead on

  3. Put your

Artsy Fartsy part 8!

I’ve been shopping! And scrabbling through both my culch and MeMum’s for little bits and bobs.

The Photos:

  1. I’ve had these pearl teardrops since the 80’s, but hadn’t done anything with them because the one on the left had a blocked hole. We finally drilled that sucker and now it’s going to a good home!

  2. Three baggies of found culch. One bunch of assorted gold beads

Challenge #00740 - B009: Fighting Against the Stereotype

“Bolin! Hey,” Sasha smiled for her. “It’s so rare to see you off night shift.”

“Yeah. Tell me about it.” Safely indoors and out of direct sunlight, Bolin shed her hood and took off her sunglasses.

Sasha burst out laughing. “What’s with the war paint?”

“Zinc oxide is the only sunblock I can wear. It comes in teeny-tiny pots and a range

Challenge #00739 - B008: Havenworlders V Humans

Hypothetically, a universe where keratin (our hair and fingernails) is a rare and valuable resource. Accounting for the sugar walls from a previous story it would potentially be considered a strong, nonreactive material.

Seeing humans with it on must be like watching someone walk around with steel-tipped claws and spun-titanium jewellery. Yeah it’s a small fortune but a) the person it’s attached to must be scary as all get-out and b) it’s practically a weapon in its own

Artsy Fartsy part 7!

This will be my last photoset on the theme for a little while, but I am FAR from finished.

The Photos:

  1. The mandatory plain pearls for impressing staid business types or pretending that one is an adult

  2. Interesting chain clusters for punk days

  3. Simple pendants for hypnotising the staid business types who weren’t impressed by the pearls

  4. I realised I didn’t have a true black-and-white earring for the collection so I went and made

Artsy Fartsy part 6!

What a difference a night of sleep makes! I had ideas, but executing them kind-of failed a little bit…

The Photos:

  1. I was ready to sign off on these as they were because it was late and I was tired and I was also about a million percent DONE

  2. But in the morning, I realised they needed some fixing. Fortunately, more black beads and some pins fixed that

  3. All I had to do was remove the pins

Artsy Fartsy part 5!

After I finished the silver tassels, I thought it was time to do some designing again, but as it was getting a little late, I think my efforts may be lacklustre. I don’t know.

The Photos:

  1. The finished silver tassels in all their glory

  2. A relatively simple build, I just took those three pin-beads off the necklace as they were

  3. These ones requires a little more disassembly to reconfigure

  4. And these chain links came off the
